Bin weitgehend von "direktem" #TeXLaTeX weg und nutze nur noch #orgmode mit M-x org-latex-export-to-pdf 🙂 Kollaborativ arbeiten kann man direkt in #Emacs mit #crdt.el.
#Typst oder #SILE kämen für mich erst infrage, wenn sie in #Debian drin sind. Externe Pakete machen auf Dauer nur Ärger.
Wir haben für @langscipress einen auf LaTeX basierenden Workflow. Es gibt Bibliographie-Datenbanken mit mehreren Tausend Einträgen. Die Pakete für Bäume und AVMs sind da und es gibt den Source-Code von allen (!) Büchern.
Zumindest in der Linguistik scheint es also eine gute Idee zu sein, LaTeX zu benutzen.
Wir haben auch unseren #SFB-Antrag kollaborativ in LaTeX geschrieben. Es sah noch nie ein Antrag so gut aus. =:-)

I made a modern version of the Rotula for the 2026-2060 period. A feeling of magic at work when you find that the predicted dates match the ones found on the web, to the nearest day...
My version is made with #TeXLaTeX (TikZ) with some #Python .
I started making paper astronomical models during Covid: I didn't know such nice paper models existed...
As usual, everything you need is available on my website for download. Print & cut out the wheels and follow the instructions on the 12-page PDF. I wrote a user guide in french, and also one in english.

#WordWeavers January 13th
Where was your latest writing session? How did it go?
On Sunday. It was mostly #TeXLaTeX typesetting my latest translations for my "Master Volume" - my massive document with all my translations which I send out each month to my higher-tier Patreon supporters. (809 tales and counting.)
It's tedious work, but I am glad I've finished it this early in the month - hopefully, I can now get some work done on my actual book manuscript.
Eclipses can only occur when the Sun is in conjunction with the nodes of the lunar orbit (intersections of the Sun's orbit with the Moon's) and during a lunar or a solar eclipse.
With this instrument, you can find both the dates of node conjunctions and dates of 🌑 and 🌕. An eclipse happens when they occur a few days appart.
The approximate aspect of the eclipses is visible through the 2 round windows on the uppermost disc.

@ctietze I need to be able to make slides from #OrgMode files. But #Beamer cannot (and will not) be made to produce #taggedPDF output (thanks, @mxp). So rather than bang my head against #TeXLaTeX, I took a step back.
Check this out:
pandoc why-yes-i-am-a-wizard.org -o why-yes-i-am-a-wizard.pptx && soffice --headless --convert-to pdf why-yes-i-am-a-wizard.pptx

No Haskell noodling required.

Performing some quick statistical analyses in classic #RStats and neatly “knitting” them into a PDF using #RMarkdown, #knitr, and #MacTeX #texLaTeX.
Call me old-fashioned, but I really enjoy this workflow.
